Robot asked for kings even if there is no point in asking

GIB frequently is unimaginative in counting to 13 tricks during the auction. Here, I'm guessing that it was afraid you were something like 6124, and bad splits could have given you a problem in collecting everything. Replacing your Q with K makes 7 more clear.

 

At another table with a different beginning, GIB asked for kings, was told none, and went to 7 anyway:
